Fabric Flowers I'm making for a Swap...

Hi everyone, I hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday. Can you believe that we had a dusting of snow this early in the year and it's in the 30's - Craziness... Well, I hope it doesn't ruin Halloween for the kids.

Anyway, I wanted to share flowers I'm making for a swap I joined on Youtube. Lilly also known as Nilianny on Youtube is hosting a Flower and Card swap. It's an one on one swap. I couldn't pass this up. I thought it would be easy enough to do and make. You have to make four (4) flowers and a card for your partner. Easy right... I thought so. I wanted to make these fabric flowers that I saw Julie from Juliewaters74 on youtube make. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crtjrdbRbbs to her fabulous flowers and my picture of my flowers.

I love how these flowers turned out. I used fabric from Joanns that I picked up recently and then lace from my stash. Then I used a pearl brad center on one and a gold rose button on the other. I hope my partner will like them too. I have to make two more flowers but I'm wanting to make some paper rosettes with a twist. I will show that one soon.

I will be altering a cigar box for an one on one swap with a friend on Myscraproom.ning.com. It will be a Xmas theme box. I need to find pretty xmas paper for this box. Any suggestions??

Well, thank you all for stopping by and taking a peek. Have a fab rest of your weekend.

Happy Sunday, Friday! I wondered if you got some of that snow...I'm still waiting for some to come our way! Your flowers are so pretty! I can't wait to see the next two! I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions for Christmas paper for you! I haven't seen any of the new lines and I don't really have much at all! I did just pick up the Bo Bunny "Snowfall" 6 X 6 paperpad because it's GORGEOUS!! Okay...that's all I know for now! lol :o)
